As the principal of perthcitypainters.com.au, I’ve been painting exteriors for about 16 years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Australia’s weather will absolutely destroy cheap paint faster than you can say “warranty claim.”
I thought I’d put together a list of exterior paints that I’ve actually used and seen hold up over time, not just the ones with the flashiest marketing.
The thing about exterior paint in Australia is that its not just about UV resistance, though that’s obviously huge. You’ve got salt air near the coast, massive temperature swings, hail storms, and then there’s the dust. If youre a painter you get it, the dust in some areas just seems to stick to everything.
